Hello there!

I'm trying to convince our company that they should invest in Oracle and put our ageing in-house database to rest.

I've downloaded Oracle9i on Linux via a development license on OTN, disk2 and disk3 extract fine, but I'm having real problems with Disk1. I've downloaded it 5 times now with variable results each and every time, sometimes gunzip reports it's not a valid archive, but works with winzip, sometimes gunzip is happy, but each time, CPIO just sits there when extracting doing zip. I've left it running for hours and it's not created a file, not even complained!

Anyone got any ideas or seen this before?
